Chapter 1: New Day

They've come a long way since they first met those years ago at Astraea Hill, and when she first laid her eyes on her it was love at first sight. Course it took a bit of help from her friends to be able to talk to her and eventually go on small dates together till she was finally able to work up her courage to confess what she felt for her. She remembered how they first kissed and it was one of her dreams to kiss someone under the rain as she had seen so many times in movies.

Though they had few problems in the long the run of their relationship, mostly in part to a certain father that tried to keep them apart in order to marry her daughter to someone else. Leaving the younger girl with a torn heart or at least until her friends managed to get her on her feet. After she put a stop to his plans did she manage to find her goddess and stop her from going through with what her father had in store for her. With their relationship rekindled they set out to always be together even after they graduated from St. Miator and they even enrolled in the same college together.

But when she had a call back home to go to her dying mother's side her goddess also followed alongside her with all her friends whom she cherished more than anything. Their relationship hit a rock when her childhood friend came back to see her. It almost killed her on the inside when everything just started going downhill for her, because for a moment she had felt that the bond she felt in her heart for her goddess was ripped to pieces. Just like before in the past, her friends were there for her and managed to bring the two back together despite the misunderstanding.

It's been five months since then and the two lovers had decided to stay in London to continue their education and to allow her angel to pick up what her mother had left for her. Not only that, but their wedding was no more than three months away which added a new sense of joy to the both of them. Although for one of them, the thought of marrying apart from it being the greatest thing to happen to her was also filling her with fear; fear that she would not make a great wife. Her best friend Yaya provided all the moral support she needed whenever she felt doubts about the whole thing and greatly enough she had also moved in with her when her college had transferred her to London for her music career along with her girlfriend who had followed alongside her to continue her education there as well.

They weren't the only couples that enjoyed their time within each other's company. Momomi had been staying in her apartment that Scarlet had helped her find and after being together for a long time she had asked Scarlet if she wanted to move in with her which she happily accepted. While Momomi was still the same as everyone remembered her, she had been trying to make herself a better person even though no one could see it or refused too, and since having been with Kaname in the past didn't help in Momomi's development throughout her years, but thanks to Scarlet she was slowly getting there on a level that she wanted to be. Eleanor herself was surprised in the big change in Momomi but she was still the same person only without the most of her nasty qualities that she had always displayed most of the time. But Eleanor wasn't the only person surprised by it, Shizuma on the other hand also was shocked to see Momomi's change and after the realization did she come to respect her.

Scarlet was at first scared in being in a relationship not ever having been in one in her life but she never once regretted talking with Momomi and spending a lot of time with her which led into the two finally getting together and for the first time she was happy.

However something besides a little cold feet began to stir within Eleanor, something that she never expected to happen.

Miyuki opened her eyes feeling that something was off, she glanced at the clock seeing that it was three in the morning. But she immediately could hear her angel breathing heavily almost panting, she turned her body and saw she wasn't on the bed but sitting next to it on the floor, hunched over. Miyuki quickly sat up, alarmed as she called out to Eleanor.

-"Eli what's wrong?!"- She almost jumped off the bed as she made haste to sit next to Eleanor and hold her shoulders.

"I…don't know." She panted in between words, "…My chest…it hurts…"

-"Oh my god!"- Miyuki quickly reached for the phone to call for some help but Eleanor grabbed her hand.

"It's fine, it's not a heart attack… at least I don't think so."

-"Eli you don't know that!"-

"I've been like this for ten minutes now; it wasn't as intense as when I woke up."

-"Goodness Eli you've been like this and didn't wake me up to tell me you were in pain!"- Eleanor said nothing.

"I'm okay." She tried to hide her pained breath but she only clutched her chest near her heart more firmly.

-"No you're not, come on get up!"- Miyuki helped Eleanor to her feet, and as she helped her she saw that she could barely stand.

-"Let's go, we're going to see the doctor right away!"- Eleanor didn't fight back; she was after all scared herself as she had no idea what was plaguing her.

They quietly made their way to the garage and climbed inside Eleanor's car and drove out to head towards the hospital. During the five months Miyuki had been staying here in London with Eleanor, she quickly began to recognize all the routes and locations to be able to find anything without getting lost and she was thankful she did. She looked towards Eleanor who rested her forehead on the glass window still clutching her chest and covered in a thin layer of sweat, she looked awful. They made a turn and passed a newly repaired safety rail on the side of the road and Eleanor quickly closed her eyes to not look at it.

Miyuki pulled up to the entrance, the hospital lights Illuminating the dark starry night. Miyuki opened the passenger door and helped Eleanor out, she was able to walk better than before but Miyuki still kept her hands close just in case she would lose her strength and fall. The moment the nurse saw the pair, her eyes were immediately drawn towards Eleanor and only assumed the worst as she quickly called a doctor and guided her to room while Miyuki followed. While the doctor and his assistant were with Eleanor, Miyuki had begun filling out the paperwork but it didn't take too long for her to finish and rejoin her angel.

Eleanor sat on the bed with her hands gripping the edges; Miyuki stood next to Eleanor and parted her blue tinted streak of hair over her ear as the rest of her neck length black hair flowed neatly. Eleanor had kept the streaks of blue hair that she had dyed all the months ago but she had to tuck it behind her hair with a clip when she went to work but most times she wouldn't since she was the boss or queen as Yaya so put it in her company.

-"Have the doctor's said anything?"- Eleanor shook her head.

"No, they just gave me a few tests and took a bit of blood."

-"How are you feeling?"-

"It's calmed down I guess, it doesn't hurt like before."

-"That's good to hear."- She took her hand, -"Why didn't you wake me up?"-

"I tried…I couldn't even scream…" Eleanor tilted her head back, "It felt like someone had literary ripped my heart out, I remember grabbing my chest and feeling intense pain." Eleanor wrapped on arm around herself, "I don't even remember how I got on the floor."

-"Goodness Eli."- Miyuki held her angel gently as Eleanor leaned on her goddess.

Eleanor looked at her finger to see the wedding ring Miyuki had given her and rubbed it with her thumb, as Miyuki took notice.

"Only three months."

-"Are you nervous."-

"No…yes? I don't know!" She chuckled, "It's just something new to me but I'm excited you know."

-"I understand."- Miyuki threw a smile her way.

"I bet Chikaru is loving the married life." She giggled, "Their wedding was beautiful, Chikaru looked so amazing in her wedding dress."-

-"Yeah she did, she made the dress herself right?"-

Eleanor nodded, "Yeah but my god it looked so beautiful. And Shion in that white tux." Eleanor exhaled as she recalled that day.

-"I figured Shion would go with the tux, I don't think dresses are her thing."- She smiled.

"Yeah I didn't think so either." Eleanor giggled, "Remon, Kizune and Kagome looked so adorable holding Chikaru's veil! It was cuteness overload!"

-"Or while Kagome held the rings using her stuffed bear, but wasn't she a little old for that stuffed bear now?"-

"Aah soo cute." Eleanor held her hands on her face remembering Kagome dressed up and looking so pretty and holding the rings, "Hmm, she's not that old but I guess she still cherishes it after all she did have most of the time in school and it comforted her."-

-"I suppose you're right, I'm amazed she still had the bear."- Miyuki smiled, -"Her little gang sure did miss you didn't they."-

Eleanor recalled getting pounced on by all of them since they hadn't seen each other for a few years, she only laughed remembering the fond moment. Eleanor scooted closer to Miyuki and held her, laying her head on her shoulder.

The doctor walked inside looking over his clipboard and flipping through the sheets.

"Ms. Raynsford we got your test results and having looked them over there is some good news and bad."

Eleanor held her breath. "What's the bad news?"

"It appears that you have the same heart condition your mother had after we compared the results."

Eleanor felt cold all over her body, Miyuki held her hand gently, "What's the good news doctor?" Miyuki asked.

"The good news is that because you brought Ms. Raynsford very quickly here we were able to determine your condition is still in its early stages."

"Meaning?" She asked.

"Well her condition is curable at its early stages." Eleanor sighed in relief, "So it's a good thing you brought her here so quickly. What I'm going to do is prescribe you some medication to halt or even stop the illness and I want you to come back here once every week so we can begin treatment."

"What about exercise?"

"You can still exercise just don't overwork your heart right now but I'd recommend laying off it for a while."

"Thank you so much doctor." Eleanor felt a weight lift off her shoulders.

Eleanor stood up, "Doctor?"

"Yes."

"How come my mother couldn't be cured?"

"Sadly her condition was slightly different than yours. She didn't experience any symptoms till it was too late."

"Oh…" Eleanor lowered her gaze.

"I'll give you all some time while I go write up a few prescriptions." He left the room.

"So there was a chance huh." Eleanor exhaled, "If only…"

-"Eli."-

"Don't worry I'm fine." Eleanor smiled, "Come on I don't wanna be in here anymore."

They walked out of the room and received the medication the doctor had prescribed to her and began heading back home. Eleanor swallowed some of the pills inside the car as they made their way back and picked up some breakfast to enjoy back home.

"I'm not sure if I can go to work today?"

-"There's no work on Saturdays Eli."-

"What? It's Saturday already?"

Miyuki giggled, -"Yup, you lose track of time?"-

"I sorta did."

-"Can't say I blame you, you've been working really hard."-

"It's only manageable because I got you by my side."

Miyuki giggled, -"Give yourself some credit Eli, you really have been working hard. But I'm flattered."-

They arrived back home just as the sun began to rise over the horizon and made their way inside. They sat in the living room, turned on the television and began to eat their breakfast.

"Hey have you talked to Nagisa?"

-"Yeah she called yesterday to see how we were doing."-

"Really? Darn I really wanted to speak with her."

-"Well you were busy in that meeting and from the sound of it you were chewing everyone up in there."-

"You heard that?"

-"Yup."- She laughed, -"Unlike Shizuma you actually get work done, I have to say being your assistant is great."- Miyuki laughed some more.

"Having you around really helps a lot." A slight blush appeared over Eleanor's cheeks, "But anyway what did Nagisa say?"

-"Well she said that their doing great, Shizuma is having a tough time with her classes only cause she's being lazy right now and Nagisa herself is still deciding on her career choice seems like she's having a tough time. But other than that they are doing great, she also said that she really misses having us around and Shizuma herself told me that she misses the both of us."-

"I still feel a bit bad for leaving them behind."

-"I know, same here but it was something we had to do right?"-

"Yeah wish they could've stayed here with us too." The two noticed a sound of a pair of footsteps coming up behind them and Eleanor immediately felt a pair of arms wrap around her.

-"Morning Eli!"-

"Hey Yaya." Yaya giggled as she swayed back and forth while holding Eleanor.

-"You two are up rather early, especially on a Saturday."- Tsubomi added.

"Uh something came up."

-"Really? Like what?"-

Eleanor smiled, "Don't worry about it, anyway why are you two awake you normally sleep in on a Saturday."

-"Ugh my boss called an hour ago and said I had to come in to help out,"- Yaya sighed heavily, -"What a drag."-

Tsubomi who still looked half asleep spoke, -"Yaya's annoying ring tone woke me up."-

-"For the fifth time I'm sorry."- Yaya began making a kissy face, -"You forgive me."- She pleaded with sad eyes.

Tsubomi only groaned, -"Okay…"- she kissed her baka.

-"Go get some sleep okay Tsubomi."- Yaya hugged Tsubomi and watched her head upstairs back to her room.

After they heard the door upstairs close Yaya turned back to Eleanor, -"Okay what really happened? I've known you long enough to tell when you're hiding something."-

"Is it really that obvious?"

-"Yeah it is."- Miyuki added as she threw her arm around Eleanor's waist.

"Gee thanks for backing me up Miyuki." A laugh escaped Miyuki's lips, "We were at the hospital."

-"For what?" Yaya asked.

-"When I woke up I saw Eli in pain."- Miyuki began, -"After getting her to the hospital the doctors told us that she has the same heart condition that Elena had."-

Yaya gasped, -"What!?"-

"Yeah…But the good news was that it's still in the early stages of the condition and is curable." Just as Eleanor said that Yaya immediately exhaled in relief.

-"Goodness Eli, I really hope they cure you quickly."- Yaya took Eleanor's hands.

"I hope so too but as long as I take care of myself the doctor said that I'll be fine."

-"I'll make sure to keep her well Yaya."-

-"Arigato Miyuki,"- Yaya looked at her watch and groaned, -"Uggh I really hate to leave but I have to get going."-

"Don't work yourself to hard Yaya, wouldn't want to drag you to your room like last time."

She laughed before saying, -"I'll try not to."- And closed the door behind her.

After cleaning up the two girls went upstairs and headed inside their room, Eleanor removed her shirt revealing the black bra she wore underneath and laid down on her stomach on the bed and closed her eyes.

-"Are you trying to tempt me?"-

"No, just wanted to lie down and enjoy how cold the room is, feels great." She felt Miyuki crawl on the bed and straddle on top of her.

-"Really cause I think you're trying to tempt me."- She began to glide her fingers softly across Eleanor's back, feeling her soft skin under her fingertips. Eleanor's pale skin calling out to her, Miyuki lowered her head towards the back of her neck. She then slid down further and rested her head with her ear on Eleanor's back and held her close.

Miyuki could hear her slow gentle heartbeats and yet it worried her after what she went through in the morning, what if the pain was to come back? Sure they had medication for it now but it wouldn't immediately dull the pain fast enough and Eleanor looked like she couldn't handle it. Miyuki lifted herself up and flipped Eleanor on her back, she straddled herself back on top of her and placed her hands on Eleanor's waist.

-"You feeling better?"-

"A little, I felt uncomfortable when I was walking up the stairs."

-"Were you in pain?"-

"Just small little jolts every time I felt my heart beat but its fine now." Miyuki gently caressed Eleanor's cheek.

-"I wish you didn't have this."-

Eleanor reached for Miyuki's hand which was on her cheek, "Same here…"

Miyuki lowered her head till their foreheads pressed against each other, -"Eli…I don't want anything to happen to you."-

"I'm not going to die if that what's worrying you."

-"You don't know that…no one can ever know something like that."-

"I promised I'd always be with you and I don't intend on dying."

-"I don't want to be alone…Before you appeared in my life I was alone, apart from Shizuma who always stood by me."-

"I'll never leave you alone…ever." Eleanor guided Miyuki's head to kiss her, "Besides, I'd think you'd bring me back from where ever I went just to kill me again if I did."

Miyuki chuckled, -"I'd be content with just bringing you back."-

"Really? Not even a spanking?" She joked.

-"Don't give me ideas."- They both laughed softly

"Look, I've always taken care of myself and you've also looked out for me so there's no way a silly heart condition is gonna do me in." A confident smile appeared across her beautiful frame.

-"You promise?"-

"Promise." Miyuki's dread was quickly lifted like a veil but she still was going to make sure Eleanor was well taken care of till they cure her condition.

Eleanor looked towards her window, the sun still rising which reminded her that it was going to be a long day but on the bright side it was a Saturday so that meant she'd get to take it easy today and Miyuki wasn't going to leave her side for a minute.

"It's gonna be a long day."

-"No doubt."-

"Well what do you want to do?"

-"Anything is fine, we could watch TV or we could go somewhere…or maybe we could."- she smirked and Eleanor understood what she meant by that as a shade of red flushed on her cheeks.

"Well I uh would love too but the doctor said I can't over work my heart."

-"Aaw, that's true…I guess role playing is out."- Eleanor's faced got redder something Miyuki took notice too,-"You cant tell me you didn't enjoy our role plays."-

"Well I did." Her excitement was beginning to rise, "But why do I have to be the naughty school girl!?" her face felt extremely hot as she threw her hands down on the soft mattress.

Miyuki only leaned in close, -"Well because I'm older so I get to be the strict teacher."-

"That's not fair!" Miyuki only giggled at her reaction, "And why did I have to wear that outfit?"

-"You don't like it?"-

"The skirt was soo small." Eleanor covered her face with her hands feeling very embarrassed about the whole thing.

-"Yet you had a very good time from what I saw."-

"I've never role played before…" Her words muffled by her hands that covered her face.

-"But you enjoyed it."-

"Yeah I did, it was…fun." She chuckled, when Eleanor moved her hands away from her face Miyuki quickly gripped her chin with two fingers.

-"Well then."- Miyuki's tone changed and Eleanor knew what was going on, Miyuki was doing her strict teacher voice, -"My rebellious little student,"- Eleanor was speechless, -"I suppose we can't make love but you can't stop me from doing this."-

Eleanor would be lying if she said she wasn't getting excited by their role playing which was fun for the both of them and was a great idea to do that.

"Miyuki I—"

-"That's Miss. Rokujo!"- Miyuki inched closer, trying to keep herself from laughing.

Before Eleanor could say anything Miyuki locked lips with her and began kissing her passionately. Sadly Eleanor began to feel small jolts of pain as her heart began to speed up and signaled Miyuki to stop; they both panted and smiled at each other.

-"Your heart?"-

"I'm sorry."

-"That's alright, sorry if I got carried away."-

Eleanor giggled, "That's okay, I thought it was fun…and exciting."

She smiled, -"So what do you want to do?"-

"Can we watch a bit of TV and just lay here so I can hold you, is that alright?"

-"Sure."- Miyuki adjusted herself on the bed frame, turned on the TV and Eleanor cuddled up next to her and watched anything that caught their attention which was a simple comedy show.

Yaya was in the music room helping other artists get their songs right while also making sure everything else was going smoothly and she had been working all day as when she looked at her watch it was already eight at night.

-"Oh god, I've been here forever…I just want to go home!"-

"Okay that's good but pick up your tone and it'll be perfect." Yaya coached the new singer.

"Thank you ." She walked back to the mic, then the door opened up and a girl walked inside who was the building secretary.

"Miss Nanto?"

"Yeah."

"Mr. Jackson wants to see you." Yaya's heart froze, did she do something wrong?

"What does he want?"

"I dunno, he didn't say." Yaya gulped in fear and with that fear in her head she quickly made her way towards his office in the third floor.

Yaya knocked on the door, "Come in." she heard his booming voice through the door.

"You wanted to see me Mr. Jackson." his eyes never taking off the sheets of paper in his hands.

"Please sit down." Yaya sat down holding her hands together as she did.

"I don't know where to begin." He put his papers down and looked at Yaya, "But let me start by saying how such an amazing job you've done here. Thus I have news for you."

"But you have to let me go right?" He looked at Yaya perplexed.

"Why would I do that?" Yaya looked at him, "When we all want you to be a singer."

"What?"

"That is what you originally were going for weren't you?"

"Well yeah but they said I had to work as a producer first well I suppose a coach for the girls that are singing here, I mean I haven't even done much producing and I don't really understand why I have to do that just to be a singer... it's weird."

"Yes I know but now the offer is yours if you'd want it."

"So I can pursue my dream of being a singer?" He nodded, "Oh my god I don't know what to say!" Yaya stood up.

"You can start whenever you want ."

"Thank you, thank you!" She shook his hand as he smiled at her.

"Now you've earned yourself a little time off, so you can head home early." With nothing else Yaya headed outside the building and hopped inside her car.

Yaya's hands were trembling the whole drive back; she couldn't believe it was finally happening. She pulled up inside the garage and parked her car, after stepping out she slowly walked inside in a trance as her heart was beating faster. She twisted the door knob and walked inside, hearing the TV noise coming from the other room as she slowly made her way towards it.

She walked inside the living room and Tsubomi being the first to notice her quickly jumped from her seat.

-"Yaya!"- she threw her arms around Yaya, -"I missed you!"-

-"I missed you too!"- Yaya planted a kiss on Tsubomi's lips.

-"I hate when they call on Saturdays."-

"Same here." Eleanor added, "What they need you for anyway?"

-"They just needed someone to make sure everything flowed nicely."- Yaya's knees were beginning to give in as the excitement to tell her friends what they had just told her at work.

-"Yaya you okay? You look drained."-

Yaya shook her head and hugged Tsubomi to keep her balance.

-"They want me to sing!"-

Everyone shot up, "They what!?"

-"Did I hear right?"- Miyuki asked.

-"What did they say?"- Tsubomi followed.

-"I'm going to be a singer now!"-

There was silence before everyone immediately stood and shouted in excitement as they all hugged Yaya.

"That's awesome Yaya!"

-"I know its so amazing!"-

-"I'm so proud of you Yaya-baka!"- Tsubomi held her girlfriend tight.

-"No kidding, that is so cool, we are all friends with a celebrity now!"- Miyuki showing her inner self as her voice came out high pitched.

"Whoa that's true, we are all friends with a famous person!" Eleanor almost jumped.

-"I appreciate what you guys are saying but I'm not famous."-

-"Come on Yaya don't be so modest, you're going to be amazing on stage."- Tsubomi grabbed Yaya's hands.

"You're gonna have the crowd all cheering your name just you watch." Eleanor placed her hand on her shoulder.

-"Definitely, we all have heard you sing and you're amazing."-

"Yup I've heard you in the showers singing loudly and I gotta admit you sound like a siren just luring people in with your voice."- Yaya almost blushed.

-"Arigato Eli, it means a lot that you all think I can do this."-

-"Well this has been your dream."-

"We should all celebrate."

-"Can we do it tomorrow?"- Yaya asked rubbing the back of her neck.

-"Huh don't you want to do something nice Yaya?"-

-"I want too, but I've had an exhausting day and I…"- Yaya stopped herself looking at Tsubomi who had those sad eyes.

-"Oh what the heck lets do it."- everyone cheered and brought out a lot of snacks, ordered some food and turned on some music. Once the food had arrived everyone were enjoying themselves though they made that night just for Yaya who was laughing and just having a good time, and Eleanor didn't suffer any heart pains throughout the night. The clock had struck two in the morning and everyone decided it was time for bed as they could continue later on.

Yaya closed the door after Tsubomi entered the room and walked over to her dresser and removed her blue shirt and leather pants and after a good shower she decided to wear just a simple long T-shirt that reached her knees feeling it was the better choice. After Tsubomi was all ready for bed she crawled next to her wonderful girlfriend and Yaya quickly rested her head under Tsubomi's shoulder as her arm held onto her. They chatted for a bit but Tsubomi could hear how tired Yaya was just by hearing her slow and sluggish words and before long she heard her slow and gentle breaths, Yaya was now fast asleep.

-"I'm so proud of you Yaya."- she whispered and gave her a kiss on the cheek before joining her in dreamland, and with a soft smile Tsubomi fell asleep.
